Isomalt Crystals, 16 oz

I've never tried working with isomalt, so was kind of buying blind with this brand. I'm glad I chose this! It was very easy to make, and for my first try, just wanted to do a very simple cake top. It turned out super cute! Came out bright and shiny. Can't wait to try some more complicated projects! I will buy this brand again.

This worked perfectly for the windows of a gingerbread house I made this year. Tip: do not use instructions that tell you to mix isomalt with water to melt it. Unless you use distilled water (who has that on hand?), the water will react with the isomalt and give your windows a yellow color. I found directions that have you microwave just the crystals (use a heavy duty glass Pyrex measuring cup) for several minutes (3 minutes/cup; depends on the amount needed) and swirling periodically until all crystals melt. You then pop the measuring cup with the melted crystals into an oven that you have preheated to 275 degrees (F) and let it rest in there for 10-15 minutes. This removes any cloudiness and most of the bubbles from your isomalt. You then need to work very quickly to pour your isomalt. If it begins to thicken, return to hot oven for a bit. This method allows you to achieve a truer color if you plan to color your isomalt, too. You add the color after microwaving but before putting in the oven. Carefully add color as it bubbles, then you mix it fully in.

Was very way to melt and pour into molds will purchase again. Taste great without being overly sweet great value for the money.

Quick shipping. Exactly as advertised

This was the first time I used isomalt and was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was. However, there were no instructions on the bag, so I had to google them.

The media could not be loaded. Amé estos crsitales de isomalt fue facil de hacer mis figuras y quedaron hermosos además de agregarle un toque a este pastel .Lo recomiendo si quieres llevar tus pasteles a otro nivel 👌💯

THIS IS AMAZING STUFF. I use it for the family & I can melt it down after taking it off cake & make new shape for next family members birthday cake.

My go-to sugar when I do any sugar work. They do not turn yellow when heated up too high which gives the result a crystal-clear color.
